    DOC-USR-0122-05 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HE2K-DCK-1X is a H.265/HEVC, H.264 and MJPEG video encoder designed to be a companion to the Sony FCB-EV7520 block camera. It is capable of accepting HD video from the camera at 60 frames per second and producing IP streams that can be sent on a standard Ethernet cable.

  • Page 8: Features

    Encoder Board Size: 58 x 58 mm (2.28 x 2.28 in) ▪ 2.1 Supported Resolutions The HE2K-DCK-1X supports simultaneous output of up to three streams encoded at different resolutions, frame rates and bitrates. Supported stream resolutions are: 1080p (2MP), 1280x1024, 720p (1MP), 480p, 576p, 1024x576, 704x576, 640x480, 640x360, 420x380,...

    If you do not have camera control software it is quite straight-forward to write your own. Below is a simple example application on how to send VISCA commands from a Windows PC to the HE2K-DCK-1X. The following example code connects to the TCP socket of the unit and is capable of sending several VISCA commands to the unit.
